The largest term in the neighbourhood is a card game. Go Fish has no rod, no water and no
fish beyond the ones printed on the cards, and it outsearches fishing games nearly four to
one. We do not have it, and we are not going to pretend a fish-eat-fish arcade is close enough.
What this page actually is
Thirteen rod-and-line games. Cast, wait, feel the tug, reel in. It is the only genre where doing nothing for ten seconds is the correct move, which is why it works so well in a gap between two other things.
Eight fish-eat-fish. Sardine to shark in four minutes. No rod, no patience, pure arcade —
and three of those are .io games, which English searches for by that exact name 681 times a
month.
Two aquariums, against roughly a thousand monthly searches for aquariums and fish breeding combined. That is a genuine shortfall.
Two fish shooters. fish shooting is a thousand a month. Worth knowing what that genre is
before you click: it is an arcade where you shoot fish for points, closer to a shooting gallery
than to angling, and in several countries it exists mainly as a gambling format. Ours are not
— nothing here takes money, and nothing here pays any out.
What is missing
No VR, despite 637 searches a month for it. No fly fishing beyond the name. No named rivers, no real species, no licences, no seasons. The casting physics are convincing and that is where it stops: this is a browser tab, not a simulator you install.
Why the list is chosen by hand
Eighty-one games in the catalogue have the word fish or fishing in the title and several are not fishing games at all. One is called Fish Parking and it is a parking game. Two are Roblox-style obstacle courses with a fish on top. And one was a copy of a trademarked game, which we took out of this list.
They all stay in the catalogue — anybody searching for them will find them — but not on a page we describe as chosen.
Weight and phones
The median of these thirty-nine is 8.3 MB, barely above the catalogue's 7.8 MB. It is one of the lightest collections we have, because water is cheap to draw next to a city.
Seven of thirty-nine are marked for touch. Low in number, but fishing is one of the genres that translates best to a screen: casting is a gesture, and waiting needs no buttons at all.

Is Go Fish here?
No. `go fish card game` is searched 3,200 times a month — more than `fishing games` itself — and it is a children's card game with no water in it. We have no Go Fish. If that is what you came for, this is the wrong page and it is better to say so now.
Is there real rod-and-line fishing?
Thirteen of the thirty-nine. Cast, wait, feel the tug, reel in. It is the only genre where doing nothing for ten seconds is the right move.
Are there fish-eat-fish games?
Eight. You start a sardine and end up as the thing that was eating you. No rod, no waiting: it is an arcade and it plays with the mouse.
Are there aquarium or fish breeding games?
Two aquariums. `aquarium games` and `fish breeding games` come to about a thousand searches a month between them, so two is thin and worth admitting.
Do they work on a phone?
Seven of the thirty-nine are marked for touch. Low in number, but fishing translates better than almost anything: casting is a gesture and waiting needs no buttons.
